I concur, FotoImpEx is a good place to find interesting things. If 
you, or anyone else for that matter, would be interested in acquiring 
some more original TechPan, please mail me privately. I've got 
several 45 meter 35mm rolls of the stuff, claiming space in my 
refrigerator. Unfortunately it dates back from 1998, so no guarantees 
whatsoever, but it has always been kept cool. I also have some dated 
Technidol lying around. 

I bought it and a lot of other film from a university photo lab gone 
digital. Since then I haven't used a single B&W film (shame on me) so 
I'm wasting fridge and cupboard space. If anyone is interested in 
acquiring any of the following items please make an offer. All the 
colour films and part of the B&W films are stored in a fridge. All 
the films are past their sell by dates, so I won't give any guarantees

- Kodak Ektagraphic HC slide film 135/36  7/1999  (high contrast B&W 
slide film) 

- Macophot ORT 25 135/36   2/2001 (orthochromatic B&W negative film, 
extremely fine grain)
- Agfa Agfaortho 25  135/36  1/2000  (orthochromatic B&W negative 
film, extremely fine grain)
- Agfa Agfapan 25  135/36  1/2002
- Ilford 100 delta pro 135/36  10/1998


And in 35mm rolls (100ft should yield about 20 135/36 films, 150ft 30)
- Ilford FP4plus 125  35mmx100ft (30.5m) 6/2000
- Ilford SP816T 35mmx100ft (30.5m) 3/2001 (labelled a 400 iso film, 
this is essentially the same emulsion as the Ilford SFX200, but on a 
thicker base - so it's a film with extended IR sensitivity - not as 
good as Kodak HIE and Maco IR820c but still fun to experiment with)

And 120 and 220 films:
- Ilford FP4plus 125  120  7/2002    220 2/1999
- Ilford 100delta pro  120  10/1998
- Ilford HP5plus 400  120  11/1994!  220 6/1991 (they must have 
stopped using this film a long time ago)

- Ilford FP4 125 50 sheets 4*5" (date illegible but definitively old)

And, if it isn't too much like heresy on this list:
- Kodak vericolor slide film SO-279 135/36  9/1999 (for making slides 
off of negatives!)
- Kodak Ektachrome Slide Duplicating film 135/36 12/1999


Quantities vary from 1 to 30 films per type (sorry I'm too lazy to 
count them all at the moment, will do if and when there's any 
interest).
